Airing cultural differences
Allergy medication for Youngest Daughter |
In spite of that, a new screen door is being installed as I speak. There are almost no such doors in northern California - only one other on our block - partly because of air conditioning, but historically a cultural difference because we have so few bugs. Before there were safety issues it was customary to simply open the front door. Now I worry about who might walk in - and if the dogs would walk out (Brix would) - so security screen doors (with extra bars and a lock) are necessary, not because of the bugs but because of the humans! Still and all, the air blowing through is, well, it's a breath of fresh air, greater than opening a window (we have window screens). Another way of saying it, You can take the girl out of the midwest, but you can't take the midwest out of the girl. I grew up in Illinois, a state with a screen door on every home.
